More Than 20,000 Petition Netflix To Cancel Amazon Prime's Good Omens


Amazon Prime

More than 20,000 people have signed a petition demanding Netflix to take down Good Omens, the television series adapted from Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's 1990 fantasy novel, but the show is being streamed on Amazon Prime.

Amazon released the six-part series last month, starring David Tennant as the demon Crowley and Michael Sheen as the angel Aziraphale, who team up to prevent the coming of the antichrist and the apocalypse. The petition claims that the show is a mockery of religion for depicting "God as a tyrant and the Devil as being good." According to the Christian group behind the campaign, the other aspects of the show are offensive such as God being voiced by a woman, four riders of apocalypse as a biker gang, Antichrist as a normal kid, and more. The petition is calling Netflix to cancel the show because "this type of video makes light of Truth, Error, Good and Evil, and destroys the barriers of horror that society still has for the devil".

Gaiman took it to Twitter to respond to the petition, saying: "I love that they are going to write to Netflix to try and get #GoodOmens canceled. Says it all really. This is so beautiful ... Promise me you won't tell them?"

Amazon and Netflix haven't responded to the petition, and it looks like the petition has already been taken down.
